To find the unit rate price per ounce for the root beer, you can divide the total price by the total number of ounces.

The formula is:

\[ \text{Unit Price} = \frac{\text{Total Price}}{\text{Total Ounces}} \]

Here, the total price is $3.20 and the total ounces is 64 oz.

\[ \text{Unit Price} = \frac{3.20}{64} \]

Now, perform the division:

\[ \text{Unit Price} = 0.05 \]

This means the unit rate price per ounce of root beer is $0.05 per ounce.
